Re: [aerogear-dev] UPS admin-ui distribution compiled by frontend-maven-plugin
I like this idea due to fact it reduces number of manual steps needed to build
UPS server WAR via a single command. Ideal for JS noobs such as myself.
I don't like the fact that it could introduce test result inconsistencies, e.g.:
Alice: I can't register new variant via UI.
Bob: Which UPS version are you running?
Alice: Latest from master.
Bob: Works for me.
...both debugging...
Bob: Can you rebuild UPS? There was new UI with the fix committed meanwhile.
So, I believe that adding such plugin is a good idea if we keep UPS track a
specific non-movable commit from UI repository.

Hey guys,
we would like to evaluate "frontend-maven-plugin" [1] that could be used as
a mean to compile admin-ui distribution files into ag-push.war webapp
during Maven build time
This way we would enable people not familiar with node/npm/bower/grunt
tooling to compile latest and greatest,
and additionally avoid a need to compile and save into git repository.
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AGPUSH-672
Note1: web developer will still leverage Node tooling
Note2: this is post UPS 0.11.0 thing! ;-)
As pointed out in the JIRA, this may have its downsides,
so if anyone has some concerns please speak up now. :-)
Cheers,
~ Lukas
